CIDP (chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy) (G61.81) Polyneuritis, polyneuritic (see: Polyneuropathy) + Polyneuropathy (peripheral) + Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM) 357.81 Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuritis (exact match)
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuritis G61. 81 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Is it the same as Guillain-Barre syndrome? No. CIDP is closely related to Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). Both are nerve problems, and both cause symptoms such as weakness and numbness.Mar 5, 2021
CIDP variants include patients with predominantly sensory symptoms, those with a distal symmetric disorder (DADS), those with multifocal sensorimotor neuropathy or sensorimotor mononeuropathy multiplex with prominent conduction block (also known as Lewis-Sumner neuropathy), and those with CIDP with associated CNS ...Jun 13, 2018

Both multiple sclerosis and CIDP involve damage to the sheath that surrounds nerves, called myelin. But multiple sclerosis is a disease affecting the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord. CIDP doesn't affect these areas of the body.Nov 20, 2020
CIDP is one cause of damage to nerves outside the brain or spinal cord (peripheral neuropathy). Polyneuropathy means several nerves are involved. CIDP often affects both sides of the body.Jun 23, 2020
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a neurological disorder characterized by progressive weakness and impaired sensory function in the legs and arms.Mar 27, 2019
The term “atypical CIDP” generally denotes those variants that deviate from the classical symmetrical, proximo-distal, motor, and sensory presentation of CIDP.Mar 15, 2021
Although CIDP is not fatal, and the life expectancy of a patient is comparable to someone who does not have the disease, a patient's quality of life can be significantly impacted. The longer the disease goes untreated, the more nerve damage can permanently limit sensory and motor functions.
The initial diagnosis of CIDP is based on signs and symptoms, but the diagnosis can be confirmed by evidence of peripheral nerve demyelination. This may be identified by either electrodiagnostic testing or by nerve biopsy. Electrodiagnostic testing is recommended for all patients with suspected CIDP.
Inflammatory neuropathies are acquired disorders of peripheral nerves and occasionally of the central nervous system that can affect individuals at any age. The course can be monophasic, relapsing, or progressive. Inflammatory neuropathies are classified as acute or chronic.
